Tower of  London

The Tower of London is a historic castle located on north bank of River Thames in central London. It was built on the Thames by William the Conqueror towards the end of 1066 to protect London and assert his power. The Tower of London, an imposing fortress with many layers of history, which has become one of the symbols of royalty, was built around the White Tower.
I visited the Tower of London in June of 2012, a few days before the begining of the Olympic Games of London. The tower and the bridge was full of olympics flags.



Statue of Liberty

Made in Paris by the French sculptor Bartholdi, in collaboration with Gustave Eiffel (who was responsible for the steel framework), this towering monument to liberty was a gift from France on the centenary of American independence. Inaugurated in 1886, the sculpture stands at the entrance to New York Harbour and has welcomed millions of immigrants to the United States ever since.
